Good to see you got it running, looks temporary, are you pulling it to put on the tins?

I mowed 6 acres with it like that. Is that wrong?



Of course I’m going to put the tins on. I just started it up and made sure it runs before I went any further.

If you mow fast enough you will not need the tins...

I put the side tin on. Couple new problems I found. The hydro input shaft has a plastic bag tangled around it and the seal is leaking. PO thought it was the check valve. Well, that is leaking too. No problem. He gave me a spare, but I’ll need to get a seal. Same fix I did to my 1912 earlier this year. No big deal. Other issue, after starting twice it won’t start now. Getting a gaseous fog out the muffler. Smells like gas. I guess I’m digging into the carb next. Always something. But this one will look sweet when I’m done. Oh, and the crank seal is leaking behind the PTO also. Another part that was in the box. This is the one I want to restore and keep. I mean, he gave me the decal set and paint. New tires... it’s begin’ to be restored and it won’t cost me much more than time.

I have a runner again. The battery was weak and couldn’t get a hot enough spark. I put it on the charger for a little while and it fired right up. My garage is showered in hytran now because I pulled the plastic out that was wrapped around the input shaft and now the oil just flies out and onto the fan. And the fan did what fans do.

Well I solved that one at least temporarily. I took the front plate off another hydro pump I have sitting around and swapped it with this one. I had to loosen the engine and slide it forward enough to have room to get the shaft out of the way. No more leak. The plastic bag got in under the seal and ripped it and it could no longer do it’s job. I also swapped the check valve that was leaking too.

So, new question. After the engine gets warmed up it starts making a chirping sound that sounds like it’s on the compression stroke. Of course I have no way of knowing if it is the compression stroke but it’s happening with engine speed. I can’t tell if it’s coming up the carburetor or the breather vent. Maybe the breather vent is leaking and letting air “squeak” by? It runs nice and smooth otherwise.

Sorry for all the posts today. The wife and kids are away all week and I’m bored.

If it "chirps" on quick opening the throttle, check head gasket.
or grease front axle pivot

I was thinking head gasket too. It’s not on throttle up. It’s all the time at all throttles but only when it gets warmed up. It sounds like it’s coming from the carburetor area so maybe if it’s a head gasket it’s echoing around in the tins. I’ll diagnose it later. My back is spent from working on it today.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
